Welcome!

Thanks for stopping by. This is a fairly new adventure for me so forgive me if this is not perfect. Join me on my journey in finding out more about my "Genes". Feel free to stop by anytime. I tend to work on other things from time to time so unfortunately, sometimes there are no recent posts. Come back though.

About

Every time something new pops up, or I find a picture never before seen or even a recipe it is a thrill! Since I still consider myself new at genealogy this is something I will continue to enjoy for the rest of my life. I have not given up yet! Meeting new cousins is a thrill too.

Some Surnames

Sunday, May 30, 2010

Tomorrow is Memorial Day. If I could I would visit my mother's gravesite. She is buried in the little town of Ruthven Iowa in Crown Hill Cemetery. Although she died in 2007, in the spring of 2008 me and my sisters buried her ashes there in the town she grew up in where other family members are also buried. We were able to tell her right before she died that us girls would take her "home". She was thrilled.

I really miss you Mom. For those who like Find a Grave you can see her memorial I created for her. She is # 29678142. Thanks to Gini at Ginisology who showed me how to insert a link!!Hope you all enjoy Memorial Day tomorrow.

You've written such a sincere post. It made me think of my own mother whom we promised to take back to Idaho to buried beside my step-father. She wasn't about to let my husband forget it either! She talked about it often. Thanks for this sweet post and your addition to Find a Grave. Welcome to the GeneaBloggers world!
